The Morris is dog friendly!
I made a reservation for my husband and I to have dinner there with our dog. We were able to locate the courtyard easily and saw that most of the courtyard was covered by a very large canopy tent.
The tent flaps were left up, which I assumed was to provide ventilation. It was only when it got cooler that evening that the staff lowered the tent flaps to keep the guests warm.
My husband and I, and our dog, had a lovely time. I really love this beautiful, covered courtyard space. Being able to dine out in a beautiful courtyard like this is so rare, and to have our dog with us just made it even better.
On to the food and drinks, the drinks were good, but the food was just okay. My husband was interested in trying the Welsh Rarebit, so we shared that as our appetizer. It was just all right, a beer and cheese fondue served with toasted bread. Nothing to write home about.
For our mains, he had a rabbit pot pie, and I had the roasted chicken (which is no longer on the menu). Both dishes were just fine - not bad, but not great either. The chicken smelled gamey, which did not turn me off from the dish, but the chef could have done more to eliminate the smell. Knowing that there's better roasted chicken at Talula's Garden next door really made me wish I could order some from them and eat it here.
As for service, the staff was great from start to end. Very welcoming and nice. We actually arrived a lot later than expected, but they gave us no grief about it. Throughout dinner, our server checked in on us but also gave us plenty of privacy. She also brought out a generous portion of bacon for our dog! As I took a closer look of the bowl of bacon, the bacon looked super lean, not a single hint of fat on it! So, I decided to let our dog have the entire thing, which he enjoyed so much.
Despite the food just being okay, I would still come back. Brunch/dinner in this courtyard with my husband and our dog? I say, anytime.
The Morris also hosts weekday Yappy Hour during certain months. Definitely follow them on Instagram if you're interested in bringing your dog here.
